The idea of God, infinity, or spirit stands for the possible... - Edgar Allan Poe

"It is by no means an irrational fancy that, in a future existence, we shall look upon what we think our present existence, as a dream."

"We loved with a love that was more than love."

"To elevate the soul, poetry is necessary."

"For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams Of the beautiful Annabel Lee; And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes Of the beautiful Annabel Lee; And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side Of my darling- my darling- my life and my bride, In the sepulchre there by the sea, In her tomb by the sounding sea."

"The death of a beautiful woman is, unquestionably, the most poetical topic in the world."
